Very cool video! Sadly my paint process didnt go the right way. Paint is wrinkled on few spots and drops have formed on other places.What temperature did you set the heat gun to?
Start with something course like 240 if you have deep pitting and then work through 320 up to 400 or 600 to make it nice and smooth and to put nice machine lines in. If you plan on polishing the letters make sure to go up to at least 400 but 800 would make it easier.
Chris Fix did amazing too!! @Chris Fix
Killer editing. Love how fast it is.

Holy shit using earplugs to stop paint going into threaded holes is amazing. I’m going to use that
Thank you !!
That was chapstick right lol?
Shhhh ;)
That's a cool trick to get paint to not stick
Looks awesome! What did you put on the letters to avoid that the paint stitch on them?
Yeah i want to know that as well, but it looks like chapstick
whos the original uploader of the video.. i cant find
So the heat gun created the wrinkle look ? Or was it the spray paint
Spray paint
It was the paint itself, but VHT (the spray paint manufacturer) recommended you use a heat gun to make it wrinkle better.
was 1 can enough?
Absolutely
Is this working across the board all valve covers?
Yes sir !
